Is any special software needed to scan into .pdf or is this plug and play ready?

There is a disc that comes with it but after you save the info, you can use it anytime. I love it!

You use the scanner's software... if you want to create pdf, you can use any pdf reader that has scanning option. Or MS Office...

NO, one problem is the paper feeding sometimes is not straight, so the scanned image is crooked.

Yes. It's available online if you cannot use the disk that cones with the scanner. But it is a plug n play device. If you don't have the software installed it automatically scans it as a photo. The problem is that you can't change it to a pdf or manipulate it in any way.

Here's my method: I have set the scanning to FULLY searchable. I then use Acrobat Pro to find the documents with simple keywords off of my network drive. I do not need binders and directories anymore (not feasible with 9400 pdf's) and find this to be efficient and simplistic. You can also use a host of library tools (like Mendeley for Mac or Linux or Windows) to easily search large libraries of searchable & indexed PDF's. I tried these virtual document management tools like rack2file and idocuments (mac) and once you get past the initial glossy interfaces you start to realize they are terribly inefficient and take lots of time in prepping docs. Now I have settled for the solution in paragraph 1 and am happy. I have evolved into DevonTHINK pro office and am loving it. Much better than what i had before.

If you are speaking of the bundle software versus just the scanner the answer is "YES!". The software alone has a value equal to or exceed the cost of the scanner alone. Adobe so that you can create and edit PDF's. The disk had both the old Rack2Filer and the new Rack2Filer Smart software which is the way to store documents (and the source file as well which can be edited from the binders". Cardminder, though not perfect with many of the new creative business cards, is also useful software. If you are in an organization using SharePoint you can save directly to your SharePoint site with the added software. In my opinion the scanner without the software is just a way to create a PDF almost like having and auto without any roads. We had used the earlier S1500 the ix500 is a great improvement.

The brochure says that Newsoft Presto Page Manager is not compatible with 10.5 Leopard. Do you need that to scan to PDF? That's the main task I'd be using this for, but if there's no compatible 10.5 Leopard software, I don't want to buy it. Thanks

Yes, there is a flatbed scanner and it works beautifully. You can scan it to a .tif file or other formats, but you have to have the HP software dialog box open. On the minus side, the scanner is set to scan at "millions of colors" and can't be readjusted except manually, with each thing you scan. You have to click through a lot of dialogue boxes. Another reviewer mentioned scanning to .pdf, but I haven't been able to find that feature despite several hours trying. I use a separate app, ScantoPDF, but with about 7 clicks per page necessary to make a scan, I wouldn't call the process here blazingly fast.

Using the Epson scan program, you can do this. This program is surprisingly good, at least compared to what I'm used to (I had a Canon scanner previously). There is an option when you first start a scan telling it to ask for a prompt for more pages. You continue to add pages until you're done, then click on save, and it saves to multi-page PDF. Pretty easy, in my opinion.

Sorry, I have only been able to scan single pages. What I do is, open the files, copy paste in Word or Power Point and then save as PDF

Yes it scans, the printer will load software right from the unit when you plug in the USB cable.

There is no software program that comes with this device. It's just something you plug into your machine's and/or your computer's USB port. It works the same as an external storage device that allows your machine and computer to see and utilize the digitized files on it. You need an additional editing software program of some sort to be able to read and print any of the files. One of the Buzz Tools programs which are far less pricey than full blown editing programs could can do the job. Hope this helps.

The question as it stands doesn't make any sense. What do you mean 'scan to PDF'? Do you mean how do you save a file in PDF format?

It seems, from my use of the scanner, that this'd work just fine, though you'd have to attend the scan or else check the file to ensure that all pages were inclued (the scanner occasionally grabs more than one page at once). Not to state the obvious, but try it first with a book you can replace easily :-) Also, note the advice from the poster before me (don't get binding glue/debris in the scanner).

If I remember correctly, in that edition there is a pdf print driver included with H&R that is installed when you install the program. When you choose print, look for the printer in your printer list.

Yes, it comes with software on the cd to scan to pdf. http://www.fujitsu.com/us/Images/Fujitsu_fi-7x60_datasheet.pdf

Epson's proprietary scanner software has many options that I find useful. You can contact Epson if you are seeking bundled software that might be included on the installation disc. I only installed the scanner software, but I believe the disc also includes: Media Impression 2 and Scan-n-Stitch software.

Presumably your printer/scanner has a USB portal.In which case I'm quite sure it's doable but I wouldn't know exactly how. But many folks could know.

Yes, when I go to "print" I get the option - Adobe PDF (Type: Adobe PDF converter)
